Hi, recently I bought a broken A1000 on ebay and had it sent to my friend's house in the states. You see I'm hoping he can scavenge it for the parts I need to convert my PAL A1000 to NTSC here in Australia (this is to save on shipping the whole motherboard). I've read that the parts I need are the Agnus chip and crystal oscillator (I intend to use it with a genlock), I'm just wondering if there are any other parts I need? Wikipedia says the PAL and NTSC models have different CPU speeds, should I get the CPU as well? Thanks,
-Naton

CPUs are all 8 MHz parts, the oscillator will take care of generating the exact clock.
AFAIR there's a composite output which won't work unless the tuner/converter is replaced, but as long as you use RGB and/or a genlock you don't have to bother.

You also need a PAL or NTSC kickstart disk !
